Your experience

    An exclusive course dedicated to the ancient pastry making of Sicilian nuns, in a location overlooking the port of Palermo. Together, we will rediscover the secrets of traditional recipes kept in the convents, preparing three historic desserts. The Castelbuono Turk's Head, with milk cream, cookies, cinnamon and dark chocolate, in my special version handed down from my paternal grandmother Maria; the fresh blood orange and mint frost; and the classic Sicilian cannolo with ricotta cheese. Each dessert tells a story of devotion and craftsmanship, where convent cuisine blends with Sicilian culture. A unique opportunity to learn how to make centuries-old delicacies and discover the charm of monastic baking.

    I loved my cooking class with Antonio. I learned how to make pasta, pasta sauce, panellas, and a beautiful salad. Thank you Antonio! He is an excellent teacher, and a lovely human being.

    I loved the class. We made good Ford and had nice conversations. I highly recommend taking the Sicilian cooking class from Antonio.

    I deeply love my Sicily and everything that its rich culinary culture represents. I am passionate about exploring authentic Sicilian dishes, with the aim of rediscovering and celebrating traditional flavors. Between 2019 and 2020, I conducted a study on the monsù cuisine of Palermo's aristocratic families, an extraordinary experience both from a practical and narrative perspective, allowing me to delve into the history and elegance of this gastronomic tradition. For many years, I worked in Michelin-starred restaurants, where I nurtured my passion for "contemporary cuisine," experimenting with innovative techniques and creative approaches. During this time, I also specialized in international cuisine, with a particular focus on Mediterranean flavors and traditions.
